Professional team that delivers excellence every time

Yuki Tanaka / CTO - Digital Future KK

Jan 10, 2026

Project summary: We wanted a property listing platform with advanced search, virtual tours, and CRM integration.

From the discovery workshop to the final handover, the experience was seamless. The team invested real effort in understanding our business goals before writing a single line of code, and that foundation paid dividends throughout. Every milestone was hit, every deliverable was polished, and the few issues that arose were resolved before we even had to ask. The solution has already delivered measurable ROI and we are planning our next engagement with them.

Questions & Answers

Please describe your company, your role, and the industry you operate in.
We are a CTO-led organisation operating in the Real Estate sector. My role involves overseeing strategic technology decisions and vendor partnerships. We have been growing steadily and needed a trusted partner to help us scale our digital capabilities.
What specific problem or business challenge led you to hire this company?
Our primary challenge was modernising our Real Estate operations through CMS Development. Legacy systems were limiting our agility and we needed a solution that could scale with our growth ambitions and integrate with our existing infrastructure.
What services did the company provide for your project?
They delivered a comprehensive CMS Development engagement covering requirements analysis, solution architecture, full-cycle development, QA testing, deployment, and post-launch support. The scope was well-defined and executed without scope creep.
Why did you choose this company over other providers you considered?
Their demonstrated expertise in CMS Development and a strong portfolio of Real Estate projects set them apart during our evaluation. The discovery call gave us confidence they truly understood our domain, not just the technology.
How clearly did the company understand your requirements and business goals?
Exceptionally well. They ran a structured discovery process, asked insightful questions, and produced a detailed requirements document that captured nuances we hadn't even articulated ourselves. That foundation made the entire project smoother.
How was your overall experience with their communication and project management?
Outstanding. We had a dedicated project manager, weekly status calls, a shared project board, and same-day responses to queries. There were no surprises — risks were flagged early and resolved before they became issues.
Did the company deliver the project on time and within your expected budget?
Yes, the project was delivered on the agreed date and within budget. Their estimates were realistic and they managed scope carefully, flagging any potential changes before they impacted the timeline or cost.
What tangible results or business impact have you seen since the project was completed?
Significant. Since go-live we have seen measurable improvements in operational efficiency, customer satisfaction scores have risen, and the solution has already paid back a substantial portion of the investment. The team built something we are genuinely proud of.
What did you like most about working with this company?
Their genuine investment in our success. They didn't just execute a spec — they brought ideas, challenged assumptions, and cared about the outcome as much as we did. The quality of the codebase and documentation also stood out.
Would you recommend this company to others, and would you work with them again?
Absolutely and without hesitation. We have already referred two colleagues, and we are actively scoping the next phase of work with them. They are our go-to partner for CMS Development projects going forward.

Analytics infrastructure that made our data science team genuinely productive for the first time

Victoria Haines / Chief Product Officer - Solaris Media Group
Verified
Jan 09, 2026

Project summary: First notice of loss processing was taking three days on average. Market benchmarks were under four hours. Automation of the intake and triage workflow was the agreed priority.

I came into this engagement as a sceptic. We had been through a failed implementation with a previous vendor and I had high standards for what evidence of competence looked like before I would trust a partner with our core systems. This team earned that trust progressively — through the quality of the discovery documentation, the rigour of the technical proposals, the consistency of the sprint deliveries, and ultimately the stability of the production system. I no longer lead with scepticism when recommending them.

PROS

Commercially transparent throughout — no hidden assumptions, no bill shock at the end, change requests that were fair and clearly explained rather than used as a margin-recovery mechanism

CONS

Pipeline availability for kickoff required a few weeks of lead time — in hindsight that selection pressure means you are working with a team that is in demand for the right reasons

Questions & Answers

Please describe your company, your role, and the industry you operate in.
Solaris Media Group operates in the Insurance sector with headquarters in Los Angeles, USA. In my role as Chief Product Officer I am accountable for the full technology agenda — infrastructure, product, and vendor relationships. We are a commercially driven organisation and every technology decision is evaluated against a clear business case before it is approved.
What specific problem or business challenge led you to hire this company?
Regulatory requirements in our Insurance segment had changed and the compliance timeline was set by our regulator, not by us. The Data & Analytics changes required were significant enough to justify engaging a specialist partner rather than diverting our internal team from the product roadmap.
What services did the company provide for your project?
End-to-end Data & Analytics delivery with particular depth in the integration and data migration components, which were the highest-risk elements of the programme. They supplemented this with a dedicated QA resource throughout development and a documented runbook for our operations team at handover.
Why did you choose this company over other providers you considered?
We had a failed engagement behind us and were more rigorous in our selection process as a result. We asked detailed questions about how they managed scope change, how they handled estimation, and how they communicated problems. The answers were specific, evidenced, and consistent across the team members we spoke to. That gave us confidence that the process was real rather than rehearsed.
How clearly did the company understand your requirements and business goals?
Thoroughly and precisely. The requirements document they produced was detailed enough that our QA team used it directly to write acceptance criteria. Every user story had a defined business objective attached. Nothing was left to interpretation. That discipline in the requirements phase paid dividends throughout development and testing.
How was your overall experience with their communication and project management?
Professional and efficient. The project manager maintained a clear view of the critical path at all times and communicated changes to it transparently. The one significant scope adjustment we made mid-project was handled through a clean change request process — fairly priced, clearly documented, and absorbed without disrupting the overall timeline.
Did the company deliver the project on time and within your expected budget?
Yes. I had privately built a contingency expectation into my planning given the project complexity and the number of integrations involved. None of that contingency was needed. The delivery landed on the agreed date and the final invoice matched the approved budget to within a fraction of a percent. That outcome is rarer than the industry acknowledges.
What tangible results or business impact have you seen since the project was completed?
Quantifying the impact precisely is complicated by other variables in our business, but the metrics we can attribute directly to the Data & Analytics work are meaningful: session duration up, conversion rate up, error rate down, and our NPS for the digital touchpoint has improved by eleven points. Our account managers report that the new capability is coming up positively in client conversations.
What did you like most about working with this company?
Their instinct for keeping the business objective visible throughout technical decision-making. I have worked with technically excellent teams who lose the strategic thread as complexity increases. This team maintained a clear connection between every architectural choice and the outcome we had agreed to achieve. That orientation made the trade-off conversations significantly easier.
Would you recommend this company to others, and would you work with them again?
Yes, without reservation. I have already made two direct referrals within my Insurance network — in both cases to peers facing Data & Analytics challenges similar to ours. I gave those referrals with confidence because I knew the experience I described was reproducible, not the result of exceptional circumstances on our engagement.

Project summary: Our fintech product required a robust backend capable of handling high transaction volumes with strict regulatory compliance.

The level of professionalism and technical excellence this team brought to our project was remarkable. They managed a complex, multi-stakeholder engagement with ease, kept all parties aligned, and delivered a product that has already exceeded our KPIs. Their attention to detail, willingness to go the extra mile, and genuine care for our success made this one of the best vendor relationships we have had in years.

FAQs

How do I actually get a real proposal out of CodeFirst instead of a generic reply?
The most reliable route is giving CodeFirst a clear, specific brief up front — through their website form, a direct email, or a call — since a vague ask tends to get a vague answer back, while a concrete one usually gets a proper estimate. For context, it has experience across industries such as Real Estate, Financial Services, Manufacturing, Fashion & Apparel, Insurance and Automotive, and it has been operating since 2012.
Can I just hire developers from CodeFirst to sit alongside my own team?
Usually, yes — a dedicated developer arrangement is a common option with firms like CodeFirst, where you get engineers working exclusively on your project as an extension of your in-house team rather than as a separate outsourced unit. For context, it has served clients in Ireland, and its typical hourly rate is around $50 - $99.
Has CodeFirst actually shipped a SaaS product before?
It's a common line of work for a company like CodeFirst — multi-tenant architecture, subscription billing hooked up properly, and cloud-native deployment built for a product meant to scale as a service rather than a one-off build. For context, it has experience across industries such as Real Estate, Financial Services, Manufacturing, Fashion & Apparel, Insurance and Automotive, and its average project cost is reported at $100000+.
Does CodeFirst actually build with AI, or just talk about it?
Plenty of modern software teams, CodeFirst included, now build real AI and machine learning features — chatbots, predictive models, computer vision, and automation that goes beyond simple rule-based scripts. For context, its listed capabilities span Enterprise App Modernization, Mobile App Development, UI-UX Design, Web Design and Web Development, and it has served clients in Ireland.
What does CodeFirst's actual delivery process look like week to week?
CodeFirst generally runs something close to a standard structured process — requirements gathering, UI/UX design, development in agile sprints, QA testing along the way, deployment, and support once it's live. For context, its listed capabilities span Enterprise App Modernization, Mobile App Development, UI-UX Design, Web Design and Web Development, and it has experience across industries such as Real Estate, Financial Services, Manufacturing, Fashion & Apparel, Insurance and Automotive.
Can CodeFirst take on an old, outdated system rather than starting from scratch?
Modernizing legacy software is usually within scope for a firm like CodeFirst — re-platforming, refactoring old code, and moving things onto current frameworks or cloud infrastructure without necessarily rebuilding everything from zero. For context, it has served clients in Ireland, and its listed capabilities span Enterprise App Modernization, Mobile App Development, UI-UX Design, Web Design and Web Development.
What's actually in CodeFirst's technical toolkit?
The exact stack shifts by project, but CodeFirst commonly works across things like React, Angular, Vue.js, Node.js, Python, .NET, Java, PHP, Flutter, React Native, native iOS and Android, and cloud platforms like AWS and Azure. For context, it has experience across industries such as Real Estate, Financial Services, Manufacturing, Fashion & Apparel, Insurance and Automotive, and it has been operating since 2012.
Will CodeFirst sign an NDA before we even discuss the project in detail?
Most professional shops, including CodeFirst, expect to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement before getting into specifics — it's a fairly standard ask and a reasonable one to make before sharing anything sensitive. For context, it has served clients in Ireland, and it has experience across industries such as Real Estate, Financial Services, Manufacturing, Fashion & Apparel, Insurance and Automotive.
Is CodeFirst more of an offshore setup or a local team?
That depends on where CodeFirst is based and who they primarily serve — some firms like this operate fully offshore, some are local-first, and plenty run a hybrid model that mixes both. For context, it has experience across industries such as Real Estate, Financial Services, Manufacturing, Fashion & Apparel, Insurance and Automotive, and it reports a team size of 2 - 9 professionals.
What should I actually be looking at when comparing a company like CodeFirst to others?
When you're weighing up a software partner such as CodeFirst, it's worth looking past the pitch and checking the portfolio, what past clients say, relevant industry background, technical range, how they communicate, pricing structure, project management style, and what support looks like after launch. For context, its listed capabilities span Enterprise App Modernization, Mobile App Development, UI-UX Design, Web Design and Web Development, and it has served clients in Ireland.
